Re: [orca-list] planning to revisit twitter, any tips?



Howdy,
If you sign up with 2mb.social, there is a twitter bridge in place, so you should be able to follow people on 
twitter and interact with them. Note that Twitter doesn't like this very much, and they have a habbit of 
breaking their API to get rid of 3rd parties, so I can't guarantee this will work always, but as far as I 
know it works currently.
You can follow me, https://social.stormdragon.tk/storm and you will gain other followers in a short time, GNU 
Social seems to be growing exponentially recently as twitter does more and more to drive away users.

Hi Storm,
I'm planning to do this for a very long time, but...
I'm reading much, much more than I'm writing, so...
The people/sites, wich I follow, should also have GNU Social accounts, which they don't.
Or could I follow twitter feeds in GNU Social?
Sorry, if you've already covered this - I've probably missed it/don't remember.

Howdy,
Instead of using Twitter, why not create a GNU Social account. Its webface is 100% accessible, no need for 
mobile versions or anything, and you aren't limited by that stupid 140 character limit. There are several 
instances you can choose from, or if you have a server, you can install your own version. Instances are 
federated, meaning no matter which one you choose, anyone from any other instance can still follow you and 
see what you post. It's nearly like giving a twitter name too, you just have to tack on the domain like an 
email address. For example, I am @storm social stormdragon tk.
A couple options you could try are https://2mb.social/main/register https://loadaverage.org/main/register
